Tier Achieved:
Mythical. Spotless AND the best of the best.
Like a unicorn — squeaky clean with top-tier food. This is the dream. Book it.
Toklas Restaurant is a vibe. You walk in, and the brutalist entrance might make you think you're entering a bunker, but inside, it’s all buzzing energy and top-notch service. Ivone and Divine are the servers you didn't know you needed—super charming and on point with wine recommendations. The mussels and mushroom pasta are knocking it out of the park, and don't even get me started on the tarte tatin. If you want a classy evening without the stuffiness, this is your spot.
The atmosphere is lively but not deafening, striking that perfect balance so you can actually hear your friends or the sound of your own laughter. Prices lean towards the higher end, but for the quality and experience, it feels worth it. Just remind yourself not to judge a restaurant by its entrance—it’s what’s on the plate that counts, and here, it's definitely worth the trip.
"Don't let the slightly brutalist entrance put you off."
